    TUTORIAL Basic fret level, crown & polish made easy (picture heavy)

    Nice thanks for the review! As for the sandpaper gumming up fast, I always keep a sand paper eraser close by. Works wonders and costs nothing. Also I am not a fan of fret erasers as it feels imprecise. But this is for when I build my own necks, I think they would be sufficient for a clean up.

    Varna Sankar (PPCB Wonder Drive)

    I have a Joyo clone of the precision drive and the same problem. Either position 1 or 2 (ideally in between) or then it’s full on caricature. I also have an AionFx Blaze that is pretty good but too much gain at all times and the settings are way too aggressive- you need to setup your amp for the...

    Varna Sankar (PPCB Wonder Drive)

    So in my search of a perfect clean ish boost for high gain tones on my amps, next in line was a PPCB Wonder Drive / Airis Savage Drive. No mods. Build was uneventful (although I am preparing for the hate by saying I think PPCB pads are a taaaaad too small), everything was easy to fit, nothing...

    Wah Inductors. No hype. Just measurements.

    All good questions @Chuck D. Bones . It’s to place in the non of a tube amp between the depth knob and ground so it will see very low current and voltage unless something blows up. Actual resistance should be low that’s about it but I am hoping for some decent accuracy (20%?). Some people have...

    Cheers! I will progress on the schematic etc and will dig more and hit you up once I am closer to PCB tracing (y)

    Wah Inductors. No hype. Just measurements.

    I hope it's fine that I ask a non-Wah inductor question here. I am planning on an amp build with an inductor based Depth setting. I'd need 500mH about, 2 pins, that's about all the info I got. My instinct was to look at some Wah inductors but the readily available dunlops are pretty bulky and 4...

    Boutique Pedal Manufacturers Are Feeling the Tariff Pinch

    If someone tells him “chips” include Doritos he might change his mind.

    SLO

    I don't have experience with the pedals (I tend to dislike pedals that emulate amps) but I think your issue with the price and space would be nicely addressed by a rosamp SLO30 clone. Still 1k for sure, but a smaller footprint. I have one and I love it, even though I cannot attest to how close...

    Great, enjoy and let us know how you like those (y)

    AI art tip: Microsoft Designer

    Totally agree. If I were to sell what I build, I would commission someone that I like the work of for a series of illustrations for a myriad of reasons. For a one off that will never leave my pedal board, I'll keep doing what I prefer and that is using the tools I have at my disposal that allow...

    AI art tip: Microsoft Designer

    Definitely. I can agree with you on that. I just find it practical to cover an aspect of pedal building I suck at and can't see myself investing time in, and this particular model (with proper prompts) spits out graphics very, very close to the type of pedal graphics I actually like. And for my...

    Prompt: Amateur, crudely drawn line art troll. Hey i needed something for an upcoming pedal, thanks 🤣

    TUTORIAL Basic fret level, crown & polish made easy (picture heavy)

    I use Chris Alop crowning file with the Oak handle and it is great. Diamond, not too coarse so easy to get the marks out with paper afterwards, and a comfortable grip. Can really recommend for that price too...

    AI art tip: Microsoft Designer

    A bit shameful, I know, but I have been doing most of my pedal "art" using either decals or laser engraving. To generate the art, I have been using AI tools - actually only one that is free and generates very "pedal friendly art", https://designer.microsoft.com/ . You can chose a vertical...

    hey, everybody, I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt, and my butt smells, and I like to kiss my own butt

    Have to admit I didn't get that much time with the 5150 compared to my former 6505MH so I stand corrected. The fact that the 5150 was through a V30 (that I generally strongly dislike) probably didn't help. But yeah, save money, buy a used Peavey if budget is tight.
